I haven’t listened to GA since Vertigo! – (a great album, although unfortunately some of it ended up getting over-used on TV here)
Had a listen to Black Light samples, the OMD, and League inspiration is clearly there on the pop Electro and Power pop, good direction for them. I love
Fall Silent, its all Numan in mood and style.
Most early mornings since last week I’ve been listening to a few tracks back to back by Scritti Politti and The Doors:
Hypnotize,
Flesh And Blood, and
When The Music’s Over, this morning it was a change with some Golden Section tracks,
a little playlist I’ve named Golden Morning, (naff, I know
):
A Kind Of Wave,
The Lifting Sky,
Sitting At The Edge Of The World [alternative vers),
Annexe, and
A Long Time [alternative vers).
The thing that occurred to me on playing it was that I thought at first that John was 'shouting' a lot, but that’s because I’ve had the quieter
Shadow Man Mono Mix going round in my head. Seriously though, I had visions of artists like Peter Blake, together with long lost colour saturated summers that I can barely remember, and the idea that Pop Art and 60’s style was always a logical choice for John to pursue (not that I thought that back in the early 80’s), and just how versatile a singer song-writer he truly is, but you all knew that of course, and I’m stating the obvious to my wise peers on here, okay, I’d better not overdo it
